Does this mean what I think it means? I could be playing on my PC against someone on their phone? Yeesh! How do they overcome the input disadvantages (in a fair manner). I don't appreciate having to be pinpoint accurate on my PC while some console chump simply has to get their crosshair inside a 10...

The one saving grace that the "traditional" PvP games have is that when you die, you simply respawn and are right back in the action (despite being unrealistic). So even if you suck, you still get to play. In PUBG/Fortnite, once you die, you're out. Back to the lobby to search for a new m...

Birth rates aren't dropping in the developing world. They are still going strong but that discussion will end-up going into R&P territory. It was just a little humor from those of us who can't stand being around children. I'm sure it isn't funny to everyone, but they'll live. As to TRU...I neve...

Edge flat out sucks. Therefore any Edge only flavour of Windows flat out sucks. Clearly you believe that so it's not worth arguing, but it's quite usable these days. I just have some edge (...) cases that don't like it as much. But I do use it regularly when I'm running games in Chrome. What are th...

Xbox One family (original, S & X) now officially supports FreeSync. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2018/03/10/pc-exclusive-no-more-freesync-finally-lands-on-xbox-one-consoles/#32a5b60948f8 I think that's with the update this month though, not immediately? But yeah. Sucks that I don...

Yeah, I think he understands that. Though what he's referring to is your assertion that gaming is something the Windows Store does well. I don't think most people would agree with you considering it's lack of the services already stated. It does it well in context. I wouldn't claim every game is on...

As a PC gamer I view the Windows Store with utter contempt. Any version of Windows prevents the installation of Steam/Uplay/Origin/etc should be ignored and mocked. Talking about 10 S in the context of a gaming machine is missing the boat by about fifty miles. Of course you wouldn't install it on a...

I fear I'm spawning a bunch of grammarian posts here, but considering Edge has ~4% of the market share I'm not sure I'd call even that "mainstream" anymore. It isn't, but it's mostly irrelevant to that discussion since it's not in the Store or updated via the Store. Though, yes, I know it...

Like I said. I am glad that the Windows Store works for you, but it doesn't work for me, and a lot of other people, in its current form. I'd never say it's perfect for everyone. Just that a lot of what people need to do in Windows is there already, and it's growing considerably every year. Your jok...

I am totally willing to back you up, and I think everyone else is too, that the Windows Store is completely barron and awful as it stands. Hell no. I like using the Store for everything I can except Gears of War 4, which so far I have not gotten to actually work. Haven't tried recently though. Ever...

Windows 10 S has been cancelled and has being replaced by Windows 10 Home (with S "Mode"). I understand that, if you're being pedantic, it's absolutely a different scenario in which the end result is nearly 100% the exact same thing. So, you know, effectively replacing Windows 10 S with W...

Out of context and negative, just as you like it Not sure how "context" factors into it. Negative? Hell ya! Microsoft keeps doing dumb things at the low end. They should be moving Windows forward. The context that they aren't really cancelling anything, just making it accessible in a diff...

Everyone has a Runescape phase. or not. It's an H game so I can't really be more specific :p :) https://media.giphy.com/media/fDO2Nk0ImzvvW/giphy.gif guess it wasn't just that game, twas probably the only one I put enough time into to notice https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2018/03/stable-chan...

I don't love HP but when I'm buying I never seem to find a better option. Should I be buying online? Probably, didn't feel like it this time. Should I switch to ASUS or MSI? Probably. Eh. It is what it is, and it's doing what I need it to (as I said, a bit too noisy in heavy use until I get that lap...

Some PS4 Pro games have a 1440p mode that runs at a higher frame rate. MLB the Show did last year for example. If there are games on the X1X that could run faster at lower res (say 4K 30 or 1440p 60) I'd go lower resolution every time, even with a 4K TV. It's still upscaled to 4K though so not what...

1440p support on consoles in April. About friggin time. https://www.neowin.net/news/heres-how-1440p-support-works-on-the-xbox-one-s-and-xbox-one-x But the Xbox One S and the One X handle content differently on each. When the One S launched, its major new feature was the ability to stream video conte...

I haven't owned an Xbone in about 18 months but I was *very* unhappy with the state of the UI when I got rid of it. It was sluggish, everything was in a long vertical list, it hid my games and apps at the bottom of that list in favor of ads for store entries, and I felt like the whole experience wa...

Major difference in power with the Xbox One X over the ps4 pro. I've pretty much abandoned my ps4 pro at this point....there's almost no reason to use it since I finished Horizon Zero Dawn. Some games look far better on X1X, some don't (but it's a huge difference when it's used well.) Game Pass is g...

Alright replacement seems to be working fine. So at least it's all good now. The only thing I really like about BB is how easy it is to replace something that isn't working right. As for what, it's an HP which I know is your first clue something will be wrong, but :lol: https://support.hp.com/us-en/...

My brother has the WORST luck with computers. He's owned....6 computers (laptop/desktop) and I think all but 2 have had some sort of persistent problem. His most frequent computer problem is the BSOD. Obviously I help him troubleshoot, and I've even taken his machines home with me, tested them rele...
